Rationale-Based Defences in Criminal Law

Autor Dr Mark Dsouza
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 mai 2017
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK"Despite the existing scholarly literature on criminal defences, many issues remain contested or unresolved. Dr Dsouza offers a thorough and scholarly treatment of a complex topic which can be expected to become a point of reference for future work in the field."Professor James Chalmers, University of Glasgow"Mark Dsouza has produced an engaging, incisive and cogently argued monograph, that makes an original contribution to criminal law theory. Required reading for scholars and graduate students working on criminal law defences."Professor Paul Roberts, University of NottinghamAlthough it is often accepted that rationale-based defences to criminal liability can be justificatory or excusatory, disagreements about how best to conceptualise the categories of justification and excuse have appeared so interminable that some theorists argue that they should be abandoned altogether. This book offers a novel, principled, and intuitively appealing conceptual account of the natures of justifications and excuses, showing how they differ, and why the distinction between them matters.The monograph breaks new ground by defending a model of rationale-based defences that turns solely on the quality of the defendant's reasoning. This model is shown to generate appealing liability outcomes, advance convincing solutions to questions that have puzzled criminal lawyers for years, and offer suggestions for doctrinal reform that are both normatively sound, and practical. By proposing new ways to think about defences, this book makes an original contribution to criminal law theory that will be of benefit to academics, practitioners, and persons interested in law reform.

Recenzii

Dsouza reveals how much more thinking remains to be done about one of criminal law theory's most discussed topics ... those seeking to make further progress in thinking about defences in criminal law will profit by engaging with this thoughtful, challenging and inventive book.
This is an impressive piece of work: it is carefully reasoned, responsive to existing debates in criminal law theory, and always mindful of the practical implications of the theoretical claims it defends.
